Pirelli Scorpion ATR's or Goodyear Fortera
I've found a couple sets of used tires for sale locally that should go perfectly on my Durango. They're both 275/55/20 and run around the same price. Wondering which set would be better, they'll be used year round, mostly just for highway use. Any input??

If I were to pick from the two I would go with the Pirelli's but like others said it would be better to get the one with better tread life remaining, sometimes.
The Goodyear Fortera tire is a great tire for A/T but not great for your typical highway driver. This is the standard issue tire for the Jeep Grand Cherokee and I see more of those on a regular basis that have way lower tread than other vehicles simply because of the way the tread wears, it is a much softer tire than the Pirelli.
To sum it up, I wouldn't go with the Goodyear Fortera because it wears very unevenly, if you don't keep them balanced they will cup and feather like there is no tomorrow and they wear very weird. Like the others said, if you can get away with it, just save up for a nice set of Michelin M/S or BFGoodrich A/T.
